The purpose of the International Feeding Choices Forum for People Living with HIV (INFORM+) is to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and research initiatives among forum members from different countries. The working group aims to address critical challenges in providing accurate and balanced feeding choice advice to people living with HIV, advance medical research in this area, and promote evidence-based clinical practice amongst providers.
What we are doing
We recognize the significant challenge posed by the variations in regional and national guidelines for infant feeding among parents living with HIV. To address these inconsistencies, we are issuing a global call to action aimed at transforming infant feeding policies. Our goal is to propose a standardized approach that outlines an 'optimal scenario,' ensuring that maternal and infant care practices meet the highest possible standards worldwide. By advocating for uniform guidelines, we hope to support parents living with HIV in making informed and empowered feeding choices.
